have one (or two) directional antennas, to connect you to the rest of
the network, and one omni so people can connect to you.

Now, my understanding of a dipole antenna design is the AP finds the
strongest signal on an antenna, then uses that ONE antenna to pick up
the signal. .. so you can only receive one signal on one antenna at
one time.

Therefore, if someone with a 100mw laptop is sitting in your front
yard, your AP is going to use the omni, not the directional antenna,
thus cutting out your link to the rest of the world.

Am I reading wrong, or do I have my technical info wrong?

Will.
